Globalization in 19^th century is a common essence of countries of the world. Global efforts for peace need to be genuinely united and so. Such unity is of the very essence, especially in this field of bringing peace to prevail. Those that obstruct this vital task are not friends of the world’s human fraternity in various societies. For, they are enemies of human, welfare. Human integrity and honesty demand that our efforts be wholehearted and pursued with dedication. Making the best of the bad bargain, would be a compromising of our ideal that should not be compromised in the interest of present humanity as well as the coming generations and in the near future. If we compromise we shall stand condemned by history that is yet to be and so long in future. In this regard, the current situation of the contemporary world is very peculiar and rendered complex by adverse human behavior. Let me explain, in this very recent past our world had to experience the period of continued uncertainty and insecurity, constant tension and a collective fear psychosis of a nuclear annihilation of the human race and the earth planet due to the confrontation between the two super-powers. An entire generation lived in a mood of despair of survival and with no hope of a future. The total human global family lived under the threat of a sudden death and destruction from the skies. The nightmare of Hiroshima and Nagasaki plagued the sleep of millions. Now, however, all this has gradually changed. Thanks to God, Divine intervention brought about a thawing of the cold war situation. The super-powers have decided to end their mutual distrust and hostility and begin to confer and consider sane strains and willing renunciation of nuclear warfare. What has followed is known to you all. All this is positive. It is in the desirable direction. But at this juncture we are now presented with a new threat. This 6^th international meeting of peace has seriously and earnestly recognizes this and formulates steps to contend with and defuse this new emerging danger on the horizon of out present times. What is this threat? it is that several other countries are making feverish efforts to obtain the necessary knowledge and to prepare a nuclear device. That self-same dangerous and destructive force and capability, which the super-powers are preparing to gradually, renounce, recognizing it as a menace to the safety and welfare of planetary humanity is now being zealously developed by several other countries in a bid to surpass their neighbors in their military might. Protest from the people affected in different countries, more so in Russia and other former soviet republics in central Asia and Eastern Europe and in South America as late as September and October 2004, indicate that the US’s agenda of globalization is increasingly meeting with resistance from a wider section of people. Globalization has negative effects as well and this has been conceded by the World Bank. The bank, an exponent of globalization had acknowledged that billions of people have been left behind owing to widening inequalities. It has given rise to, but in its own document, globalization, growth and poverty, the World Bank would still insist more of it because it has convinced itself that, globalization is the key to social justice. the growth has come not with a general improvement in social justice but with costs in terms of internal democracy, human right, and equality.
